QUIZ RECAP

This was my first time hosting at brewery west, and this trivia crowd gave me a great welcome. After we improvised some quiz booklets, we got to work. Team picture of a dinosaur took an early lead but could not keep it as the Counter Intelligence led a charge of successful double downs. There was a tie for 2nd where the Test Tickles got scarily close to the number of pitchers used by the 2010 Texas Rangers to win the tie breaker.

A smaller, 12-team crowd for this week's Galentine's Day trivia game, but small doesn't mean lackluster. Plenty of trivia love among the trivia lovers, as always -- and what a blessing to get to witness and share.

In the end, it was Team X-Blades who scored first with a big 74 points! That's a successful Round 2, 3, and 6 double -- and a perfect Round 7 to boot. Next up was Counter Intelligence at 67 points! Their doubles came in Rounds 3 and 5, catching them up to the front quickly. Third went to The Test Tickles at 55 points! They had only two team members this week, but still managed to get that 20-point double in Round 6.

I'd like to thank Brouwerij West and all our faithful trivians for a full calendar year of joyful hosting duties. My first BW show was Valentine's Day 2018. I had never hosted a weekly show and had no idea what to expect, but I quickly realized that something special was going on here, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.

How did I celebrate, you ask? For one thing, I brought cookies!
For another thing, I gave out my first accidental free answer:
"Who was the wife of Abraham Lincoln?
That's number 5 of Round 5:
Who was the wife of Mary Todd Lincoln?"

Happy anniversary, trivians.

QUIZ RECAP

The Polar Vortex may not technically be visiting its mighty frigid wrath upon Southern California, but 50s is certainly low for us. Perhaps it was the winter chill that kept our teams to only fifteen in number this week, but we still had quite a game -- even had a tiebreaker for second place!

In the end, it was Here for the Beer who took first with 60 points! They played a steady game and got a big boost from their 20-point double in Round 6. Second went to Counter Intelligence at 58 points after beating Brewsual Suspects in a tough tiebreaker. Counter Intelligence rebounded from not one but two unsuccessful doubles by scoring that 20-point Round 6er. Brewsual Suspects scored a Round 2 double and kept up some good points from there on out. Well done, all teams!
